Canton of Cartagena
The Canton of Cartagena (Spanish: Cantón de Cartagena), also known as the Canton of Murcia (Spanish: Cantón Murciano), was a period of Cartagena, Spain's history when it was governed by a radical cantonalist junta for six months between 1873 and 1874. The city rose up in armed insurrection on 12 July 1873 establishing the Canton's de facto independence from the First Spanish Republic and beginning a wave of cantonal rebellions across southern Spain.
